Method 8. Remove and Reinstall Network Adapter/Drivers.

One of the actions of the «Network Reset» tool is to reinstall the Network Adapters. However, sometimes this does not work as expected, so it is suggested to uninstall and reinstall the network drivers manually by following these steps:

Method 9. Reset Router or Replace Network Adapter.

If you still face the «Media Disconnected» error and still can’t connect to the Internet/Network after following the methods above, this may indicate a problem with your network adapter or a router problem. To properly address the problem, proceed as follows:

  • If other devices/computers can connect without problem to the same network that you cannot connect to with your computer, then replace your network card and see if that solves the problem. If not, I suggest to backup your files and to RESET your PC or to perform a clean Windows installation.
  • If the other devices/computers can’t connect also to the same network that you can’t connect to, then try to reset your Router* to its factory default settings and if the problem persists speak with your ISP provider and ask him to replace your Router.
To Reset your Router, follow these steps:*

* Attention: Resetting the router to its factory default settings will erase all your custom settings and configurations, including the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) & the Wi-Fi password. For this reason, after router’s reset, you have to connect to Router’s default SSID using the default Wi-Fi Password. (This information usually can be found on a sticker on Router’s case).

1. Locate the Reset button on the router. The reset button is usually a small button located on the back of the router, labeled «Reset»

2. Press and hold the Reset button for 10-15 seconds until the router’s lights start to blink or flash. In some routers you must press the reset button using a paperclip or a similar tool.

3. Release the reset button.

4. Wait for the router to reboot: The router will now reboot and reset itself to its factory default settings. (This process may take a few minutes).

[Solved] From Windows10 to Window10 Reply from Ip Destination host unreachable

My host is Windows 10 and my target (guest) is Windows 10 too.

In network settings inside virtual image for guest I choose «Network bridge».

ping host from guest gives me:
Reply from IpGuest: Destination host unreachable.

and ping guest from host gives me the next info:
Reply from IpHost: Destination host unreachable.

I want to use guest for windows kernel debugging, so I try to turn connection via ping at first.

How can I fix it?

Take a look at ch. 6.2. Introduction to Networking Modes, especially the Overview of Networking Modes table. See what connections you have available to talk between host and guest: HostOnly and Bridged. I would choose HostOnly, it’s always available.

Also, Windows may (does?) not allow responses to ping by default. You have to turn it on in the Windows firewall, «File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request — ICMPv4-In)», on Private networks at least, domain & public too if your Virtualbox network connection is not «private» type in either OS.

That’s not enough information to continue I’m afraid, we need some numbers. We need to see the output, from both the host and the guest, of the command:

  • 
    ipconfig /all

and from the host of the command:

  • 
    "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage" list hostonlyifs
    "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage" list dhcpservers

[quote="sergorl"]Адаптер Ethernet VirtualBox Host-Only Network:

Some MAC? No, that’s not some MAC, that’s the IPv6 address. And even if it was a MAC address, are you are obfuscating a fake, random, useless-except-your-host MAC? Security is a good thing, paranoia is not.

[quote="sergorl"]   Автонастройка IPv4-адреса . . . . : 169.254.247.17[/quote]

That’s an APIPA address. It looks like your HostOnly adapter is not set up properly. Go to File » Host Network Manager. Make sure that the «Properties» is enabled, and in the «Adapter» tab at the bottom select «Configure Adapter Manually» » IPv4 Address = 192.168.56.1. Restart your computer, restart your VM.

[quote="sergorl"]C:\Users\sergorl>ipconfig[/quote]

When I’m asking for the output of the command «ipconfig /all» I expect that command, not the one you thought would be good enough (ipconfig). Please pay closer attention to what’s asked of you next time…

Just a quick note: The network mask of your Host-Only adapter is wrong, and should be 255.255.255.0. It conflicts with your wireless network this way.

There might be some confusion in there, you’re right fth0, brings another recent topic in memory: Host-only network stops working, when connecting to 192.168.x.x IP-network…

But more importantly, the guest didn’t receive an IP address, it’s still using APIPA addressing:

@sergorl,
What happens if you open a Command Prompt window in the guest, and you enter the command:

  • 
    ipconfig /renew

Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

@socratis:
I do not trust the Host Network Manager dialogs further than I can throw a rock (see viewtopic.php?f=6&t=92547&p=452797&hilit=DHCP#p452797 for the details). Therefore I would recommend to Remove the existing Host-Only adapter, reboot the host, Create the Host-Only adapter anew, configure it, thereby verifying every step , reboot the host again, and verify the Host-Only adapter again before using it.

The media disconnected error in Windows causes issues with the network and connectivity of the device. Sure, the name stated might deceive you into believing that the error is with the media component of your system. However, it refers to the network state of your PC. The error can be observed after running the ipconfig command in the command prompt. 

Usually, when you are struggling with connectivity issues or observe that the network source you are using keeps disconnecting out of nowhere, you run the ipconfig command. It helps you find out the status of all the network devices. The Media Disconnected status of the Network State highlights the point of error that needs to be resolved.

If you have encountered a similar error on your PC, do not worry; we are here to help. Check out the working fixes listed below and try them on your PC to resolve the disconnected media error in Windows. 

Without further ado, let’s get started!

These fixes will also work on Windows 11, Windows 8.1,  and Windows 7.

5 Ways to Fix Network State Media Disconnected Error in Windows 10

Fix 1 – Check If the Network Adapter is Enabled

The first instance that causes the media disconnected error in Windows is if the network adapter is, by any chance, disabled. Check its status and ensure to turn it back ON. Here’s how you do it – 

Step 1 – Press Windows + R to open the run search.
Step 2 – Use the command devmgmt.msc in the run to open Device Manager

type devmgmt msc command

Step 3 – In the opened Device Manager Window, look for the network adapters.
Step 4 – Select your network adapter and right-click on it to check the network adapter status. If it says Enable device, you know where the problem was. Click on enable to resolve the network state media disconnected error.

Click on enable in network adapter

Step 5 – However, the device is enabled if you see Disable device. In this case, you can now click on Disable device and re-enable it so that it breaks the loop of error and restarts.

click on Disable device

All in all, you have to ensure that your PC’s network adapter is working properly and is properly enabled. 

Fix 2 – Reset WINSOCK & IP Stack

WINSOCK and IP stack are two crucial elements of your network configuration. Resetting them can help you reset the entire network properly, strengthening your network. Here are the steps to reset them –

Step 1 – Go to the Start Menu and search for Command Prompt.

search for Command Prompt

Step 2 – In the found options, click on Run as administrator to start the Command Prompt utility with administrator privileges.
Step 3 – In the opened command prompt window, use the following command individually, i.e., press enter after each command – 

netsh winsock reset catalog,

netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log 

netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log 

Step 4 – Once you successfully run all three commands, type exit in the command prompt to end the process.
Step 5 – Restart your computer to ensure the reset is completely successful.

This reset can help your network adapter overcome all the probable issues causing your device to fail and give the media disconnected error prompt on running the ipconfig command. 

Fix 3 – Use Windows Network Troubleshooter

Sometimes the issue doesn’t necessarily lie in the network’s configuration. Sometimes the media disconnected error also occurs when the entire network mechanism is not properly running with Windows. The easiest way to resolve this issue is to run the network troubleshooter in your OS to check for errors.

Step 1 – Press Windows + I to open the System Settings on your Windows 11 PC.
Step 2 – In the Settings window, click the Troubleshoot option and enter it.

Troubleshoot option

If running Windows 10, press Windows + I > select Update and Security and use the Troubleshoot option. 

Step 3 – You may find an option called Other Troubleshooters. Click on it.

Select Other troubleshooters

Step 4 – You may find Network & Internet troubleshooters in other troubleshooters.
Step 5 – Click on Run to initiate the process. Follow the steps on the screen to ensure no compatibility issues with the network adapter causing media disconnected network status on your PC.

The network issues should be resolved once you have done the above steps. In case it’s not, do not worry, as we still have a few fixes up our sleeves. Continue reading!

Fix 4 – Update Network Sharing Settings

The next thing to try to fix network issues on your Windows PC is to check and update the current network sharing settings on your PC. If the network sharing settings on your PC are turned ON, turn it off, as the impact of other PCs often causes media disconnected errors on your system. 

Step 1 – Press Windows+R to open the run search
Step 2 – Type control in the run search box and hit enter to open the control panel.

type Control command

Step 3 – Find Network & Sharing center in the control panel menu.

Network and Sharing Center in control panel

Step 4 – In Network & Sharing, find Change Adapter settings in the left-hand panel of your screen.


Step 5 – Click on it to find the connected network.

wifi status

Step 6 – Right click on it to open its properties. Open the Sharing tab in the opened properties.

Step 7 – Uncheck the allow other devices to connect… option in the sharing tab. Click on OK to save and exit. 

This will limit the network sharing capabilities, allowing you to eliminate issues like media disconnected network status on your PC. 

Fix 5 – Ensure Network Adapter Drivers are Up to Date

Last but not least, if you still haven’t been able to resolve the issue, then your PC has an outdated network adapter driver that is causing the issue. Like any other device connected to your PC, the network adapter also has a dedicated driver that requires a proper update. When it’s not updated, issues like media disconnection come up out of nowhere. 

Usually, users avoid updating crucial devices manually, as one wrong driver can fry up their device. To update the driver easily and reliably,  you can use the Advanced Driver Updater. Here’s how it works – 

Step 1  – Download and install the Advanced Driver Updater from the link below. 

Step 2 – Run the application to find the Start Scan Now button. This allows you to scan your PC for outdated drivers.

start scan using advanced driver updater

Step 3 – The scan will go through all the installed drivers and compare them to the tool’s latest driver packages in its vast database.
Step 4 – The outdated drivers that it finds in the scan are instantly shown on your screen. Check carefully, as your network adapter driver will be there too!

Step 5 – Click on Update All and let the tool take care of fetching and installing the updates while you sit back and relax.

These 5 fixes can help you instantly resolve Windows’s network state media disconnected error. Use them accordingly, and you may find better results. That’ll be all for this post. Hope you find this helpful. Don’t forget to download and install Advanced Driver Updater on your PC to update your drivers.
